This paper presents an overv degrees-of-freedom (DOF) inertial MEM ranging from gaming to dead reckoning the implementation of high-perfor measurement units (IMU) are examine challenges related to tri-axial gyroscope Benefits and tradeoffs of homogeneous m are reviewed and contrasted with advanc integrated IMUs.

In this paper we present the synthesis of novel reactionless spatial three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DoF) and 6-DoF mechanisms without any separate counter-rotation, using four-bar linkages. Based on the conditions of dynamic balancing of a single planar four-bar linkage developed elsewhere, the spatial problem is shown to be equivalent to ensuring that the inertia tensor of reactionless four-bar l...

Human beings, animals and some birds use their legs to move with great mobility, but we do not yet have a full understanding of their motion mechanism. The reason is that we lack man-made robots that use legs to obtain high mobility. We, especially, need two-legged robots that are able to adapt to human living environments such as offices and homes. In order to analyze a human walking mechanism...

In this letter, we present the first characterization for the achievable Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) by Blind Interference Alignment (BIA) using staggered antenna switching in the K-user Gaussian Interference Channel. In such scheme, each transmitter is equipped with one conventional antenna and each receiver is equipped with one reconfigurable (multi-mode) antenna. Assuming that the channel is kn...

Vision-based techniques used in automatic micromanipulation are limited by small depth of field (DOF) because of high magnification and big numerical aperture of optical system. This paper proposed a new adaptive DOF image system which can adaptively adjust DOF during micromanipulation while maintaining high resolution of the images. The proposed system uses a spatial light modulator instead of...

In this work we present a multi-neighborhood, parallel local search approach for the Multi-Mode Resource-Constrained Multi-Project Scheduling Problem (MMRCMPSP). The search in multiple neighborhoods is conducted in parallel with dynamic load balancing among processors. Our solver works with an indirect solution representation and navigates through space of the feasible solutions by combining he...

the ability to perform rolling contact fatigue (rcf) experiments in wheel–rail material is provided by a new small–scale test rig, manifesting the actual dynamic behaviour of the railway system. in this paper, a multi-body dynamics (mbd) model is proposed, simulating the vibration behaviour of the prescribed rig. the new testing facility is modelled using a three-dimensional model of the vehicl...
